Mackie has announced My Fader v3.0, an upgraded version of its control app for DL32R, DL1608 and DL806 digital mixers.
Designed for iPhone and iPod touch, My Fader v3.0 allows on-stage performers to control their own monitors and for engineers who need quick mobile control over a mix. The new version provides a new updated user interface and an expanded feature set for additional control.
“My Fader v3.0 is more powerful and user-friendly than ever before. Musicians have never had more control over their individual monitor mix,” states Ben Olswang, Mackie product manager. “This level of control used to involve tons of expensive hardware and endless cable runs. Now, you get the professional results you demand, all controlled wirelessly using musician’s personal devices, saving setup time and cost.”
My Fader v3.0 new features include support for control alongside the main Master Fader v3.0 app that provides total control of any DL Series mixer. It also provides support for iOS8 and the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. The user interface has been redesigned, with a modern look and feel that is in step with Master Fader.
In addition, Channel ID can now be configured using My Fader. Users can add custom names, icons or even photos for effective identification during the show. Channel colors and output colors are also now supported.
In the mixer view, users now have access to subgroups and VCAs for additional mix management. This allows one-touch volume control over groups of channels like backing vocals, horns or other channels that need to be controlled at once.
The view group selector is now accessible, allowing users to view only the channels needed for that particular song or setup. Access limiting has also been updated, providing even more control over what each device can control, keeping specific users out of other mixes, including the front-of-house mix.
My Fader v3.0 is available here as a free download directly to iPhone or iPod touch.
